Recommended Prior LearningAll Year 9 students study a least two of the four “Arts” disciplines offered at Papanui High School. The disciplines are:
Dance
This course is for everybody who loves to move, not just those who consider themselves a ‘dancer’.
We are designed to move our bodies and this course is as much about learning to dance as it is about learning through dance. Discover how to make epic dances in groups by being introduced to tools from the dance curriculum. Learn about different countries and cultures by stepping into classic and contemporary dance styles performed by groups of people around the world.
Negotiating with others, moving your body, experiencing different styles of music and expanding your creativity are all core components of this course. No prior experience required and fun guaranteed.
Visual Art
This course offers students a chance to develop their understanding of different art making processes. In the Art Department students grow their skills through using a variety of art materials, techniques and ideas. Students have access to a wide range of resources and are encouraged to discover their interests in new areas, including:
Student work and clips of art making can be viewed online through the electronic course selection booklet.
